School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 556 - 558: Injured

"Fuck!" Xiao Han was shocked.

But at this moment, attacking the other party was clearly too late. So, Xiao Han decisively rushed over. Without any hesitation, he used his arm to guard the back of Lan Yudie’s head. Lan Yudie noticed something was wrong with Xiao Han, and she turned her head to look. What she saw was a gleaming silver cleaver already close at hand.

Puchi...

A burst of fresh blood splattered, a few drops landing on her own eyes.

"Ah!" Lan Yudie was so scared she almost fell.

Xiao Han hastily supported her from behind, afraid that she might fall.

Crack...

Xiao Han’s left hand took a slash, but his right hand didn’t hesitate to chop towards the man’s neck. Blood sprayed three feet into the air. With this strike hitting the artery, the man covered his neck, yet blood still seeped through his fingers.

"Ah!" The man screamed continuously in agony.

The man’s cries seemingly deterred the others. They were instantly confused and none dared to advance.

Helping Lan Yudie, Xiao Han then said in a hurry, "Are you... are you okay?"

"Xiao Han, your arm!" Lan Yudie said anxiously.

"Fool, this little injury is nothing!" Xiao Han shook his head.

"But!" Lan Yudie looked at the wound on Xiao Han’s arm, blood gushing from beneath his clothes. Fortunately, Xiao Han’s muscles were strong; if they hadn’t been, that slash might have severed his arm. The assailant had struck with all his might.

"It’s fine, let’s go!" Xiao Han, supporting Lan Yudie, said, "I want to see who dares to stop me!"

Having said that, Xiao Han decisively walked out.

People on the side really didn’t dare to stop Xiao Han.

"Stop him!" Ye Shisan yelled furiously.

Rustle...

The gang launched another attack. More than twenty people taking on one, and that one was even encumbered by someone else. If they couldn’t beat him, how would they ever mix in the underworld again? Nightingale’s reputation would plummet, never to rise again, wouldn’t it?

With his injured left hand holding Lan Yudie, and right hand wielding the cleaver, Xiao Han fiercely struck towards his opponents.

With a few cuts, he turned them into a mess.

Xiao Han didn’t dare to act rashly or move carelessly. He could only confront them head-on because if he used other moves, Lan Yudie would be unprotected.

Just as Xiao Han was preparing to head towards the stairs, suddenly, a large crowd surged in from outside. The crowd was dense. Ye Shisan had already ordered reinforcements; he was determined that today, even if it meant killing Xiao Han, he could not allow him to leave alive.

"Xiao Han, don’t blame me for not being polite!" Ye Shisan gritted his teeth.

Xiao Han fought his way in and out of the crowd.

There was no way to get past the staircase. It was packed with people; he had to fight his way out or else there would be no escape. The only option was to fall back, find somewhere to face only one direction of attack, protect Lan Yudie well, and wait for Dao Meng’s rescue.

"Kill him!" Ye Shisan roared.

"Kill!" Dozens of people rushed forward.

Xiao Han pulled Lan Yudie back.

Xiao Han quickly pushed Lan Yudie against a wall, then shielded her with his back. A smile crept up the corner of his mouth as he said, "Xiao Yu, don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect you."

"Xiao Han, I’m not scared!" Lan Yudie swallowed nervously. Hidden behind Xiao Han’s back, looking up at his tall and formidable figure, she felt truly safe behind him for the first time.

Looking at the figure before her, he was just her student. She had always thought she needed to protect him, to keep him safe—an instructor is the hen, and the student is the chick. However, now she realized her thinking was completely reversed. Xiao Han was the mountain in her life, the mountain protecting her. With him present, she felt completely safe and secure, and nothing could go wrong.

Looking at his back, Lan Yudie felt a deep calm within her heart.

Facing enemies on one side, Xiao Han wasn’t afraid. His right hand chopped at the attackers crazily. The enemy’s forces continuously rushed at him. But Xiao Han wasn’t afraid; wielding the cleaver in one hand, he seemed as if he was in a realm where one man holds the pass against ten thousand.

"Boss Ye, this kid is too powerful," a woman watching the battle exclaimed in horror.

"Hmm!" Ye Shisan nodded and said, "That is why I have been wanting to recruit him. If we could sway him, Nightingale wouldn’t have to rely on Hei Tie anymore, and we wouldn’t have to be subservient to him."

"Mhm!" the woman nodded, "It’s a pity that this person isn’t working for us. Such a waste."

"Even if he isn’t working for us, we absolutely can’t let him go easily," Ye Shisan nodded.

The battle continued, its brutality beyond imagination. A man on the opposing side had his belly sliced open by Xiao Han, his intestines spilling out. He trembled as he tried to stuff them back into his abdominal cavity with his hands.

This scene terrified many, causing them to involuntarily step back. If it hadn’t been for Ye Shisan watching from behind, they would have probably fled. The reason they could still stand there was entirely because Ye Shisan was there to maintain order.

"Hurry, kill him," Ye Shisan’s anxiety and horror increased the more he watched.

Xiao Han single-handedly held off the attack from so many people, his ability shocking and conveying an unmatched fierceness. From what Ye Shisan could see, Xiao Han’s existence was a significant threat. Thus, if Xiao Han weren’t eliminated today, perhaps for the rest of his life he would be haunted by Xiao Han. He absolutely did not want to leave such a powerful adversary for his future.

Rip...

Suddenly, the opponent’s knife tore a gash across Xiao Han’s shoulder. His clothes shattered at once, tearing a twenty-centimeter-long slash from his shoulder to his chest, blood gushing from the wound.

"Xiao Han!" Lan Yudie was terribly frightened.

"I’m fine," Xiao Han quickly reassured Lan Yudie.

But what use is a single reassurance? Lan Yudie saw with her own eyes the blow Xiao Han took and watched the blade open a wound on his body. Blood poured out. Lan Yudie was shocked and afraid inside.

"You... You’re bleeding," Lan Yudie exclaimed.

"It’s nothing," Xiao Han reassured her again, "Just a small wound, it won’t be an issue."

Lan Yudie forced herself to remain calm, fearing she would collapse from the horror before her.

Xiao Han’s strength gradually drained, and it was unclear how many attackers there were. From Xiao Han’s perspective, the dungeon was now packed with enemies, and there were still some reserves standing on the stairs, ready to replace those at the front at any moment.

There were at least a hundred people, itching for a relentless battle with Xiao Han.

However, Xiao Han was just one person, and he also had to protect Lan Yudie.

It was at this moment that Xiao Han truly understood the saying ’strength in numbers.’ He had always thought his strength was unbeatable, but now it was different. He discovered that his physical strength had its limits and with the passage of time, it diminished rapidly. Now Xiao Han could only rely on his willpower to stubbornly uphold his convictions. He wished he could protect Lan Yudie forever.

"Good, give it your all," Ye Shisan shouted at that moment, "He’s about to fall, keep hitting him!"

Under Ye Shisan’s urging, everyone tried even harder.

Yet Ye Shisan still felt her people weren’t trying hard enough. So, she roared with effort, "Listen up, everyone, the first person to kill Xiao Han will be rewarded with two million by this lady!"

Whoosh...

The crowd immediately erupted into dismay.

As the saying goes, a generous reward brings out the brave. So, they charged forward even more fiercely.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The gang rushed forward as if possessed, desperate to carve up Xiao Han’s body, desperate to kill him right there.

Everyone was exerting their utmost effort.

The pressure on Xiao Han grew greater as time went by, and so did the number of his wounds and mistakes.

"Xiao Han, you…" Lan Yudie hid behind him, panic-stricken. Xiao Han was almost at his limit. Lan Yudie could distinctly feel his movements slowing down.

Indeed, Xiao Han was formidable.

But how powerful can a single person be? He might beat ten people but not a hundred; even if he defeated a hundred, he couldn’t defeat a thousand... A single person’s strength is, after all, limited.

"Xiao Han, perhaps we should surrender?" Lan Yudie anxiously suggested.

"No!" Xiao Han replied resolutely, his Steel Knife still wildly hacking away. Though slower than before, it still swung with ferocity.

At this moment, Xiao Han truly felt overwhelmed. His arm moved mechanically, and not just people but even mechanical arms can suffer metal fatigue. Xiao Han’s arm was so tired that he could barely lift it, yet he knew he had to persist. If he didn’t, he would likely be doomed. Not only would he perish there, but Lan Yudie would be doomed as well.

He would rather die himself than let Lan Yudie be tamed into a cash cow for Golden Island.

However, with his strength gradually depleting, his power was ebbing away. He almost felt like collapsing. His bodily functions were also dropping continuously. Xiao Han’s heart nearly broke: Heavens! Is this how Xiao Han meets his end? Would the heavens not lend me a helping hand?
